Top three things to fix

1. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

   21 of 21 stops don't say whether a wheelchair user can board there. Riders who use wheelchairs can't plan a trip when accessibility is marked 'unknown'; apps show no information at all.

   Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

2. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).

   15 of 15 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

   Effort: Often one default setting in your export.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

3. Populate trip_headsign to match what the bus displays.

   15 of 15 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a bus is going.

   Effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.
